Steamed Oysters

Open and drain the required quantity of oysters, lay them in a steamer, which
place over a saucepan of boiling water, cover them with a plate and cook for ten minutes.
When ready place the oysters in a very hot dish, garnish with some croutons
of brown bread fried in butter and drained and a few drops of lemon or vinegar
poured over them. Dust lightly with salt and pepper and serve.
